Research interests 

A passion to use applied mathematics to model a natural evolving system after a fundamental understanding supported by experimentation and small-scale simulations. Led several teams in the area of multiscale modeling applied to several contemporary industrial issues, with a down-top paradigm. Developed interest in both the sharp interface and di usive interface approaches. Current work includes twinning and slip in HCP structures, crystal plastic- ity, damage, multiphysics involved in oxidation, interdi usion, growth stresses, fatigue crack growth, phase transformations, grain growth, precipitation, and interfacial instability.
